According to a news release from the Gretna Police Department, officers received complaints of repeated and unwanted attention exhibited toward children at the track.

Police said Don Fernandez, who went by the name “Uncle Don” at the track, was arrested on Wednesday after an investigation that happened through December. Fernandez has previously been arrested on multiple charges of unlawful touching of a child in Harrison County, Miss., on April 14, 1997.

According to the news release, Fernandez videotaped the children and asked them how often they visited the park. Police said Fernandez even attempted to lure children to his home in the 5000 block of Paris Avenue in New Orleans. According to investigators, Fernandez was seen in one instance caressing a child’s hair.

Police obtained a warrant for one count of stalking that they said happened at the BMX track and search warrant for Fernandez’ home.

When the warrant was executed, police said they found numerous photos of children from the track and a video of children at the track setup in Fernandez’ bathroom.

Fernandez was taken to the Orleans Parish Correctional Center and book as a fugitive from Gretna for stalking.
